BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of Invention

The invention relates to a bib, and more particularly to an infant bibcapable of avoiding restraining a neck circumference of infant andadjusting a pocket position.

Related Art

Infant bib used for eating is a kind of bib that is wrapped around ainfant's neck to prevent the clothes from getting dirty due to thefallen food during eating. Moreover, the bibs on the market are equippedwith a pocket with a function of receiving the fallen food to reduce thechance of food being scattered everywhere when the infants are eating.Due to the short interval between meals for infants, most of the bibs onthe market are made of silicone rubber material for the convenience ofquick cleaning and drying to be ready for using the next time. Also,with the soft and comfortable tactile impression of silicone rubbermaterial, damage of the skin of infants can be avoided.

However, due to the rapid growth rate of infants, and most infants havedifferent body shapes, single-size bib on the market is not suitable forall infants, especially high and low positions of the pocket make bigdifferences for infants of different ages and body types. Moreover,compared with bibs made of cloth material, bibs made of silicone rubbermaterial are still slightly harder and have a certain weight, so infantswill be less accustomed to wearing them at first; it is often the casethat the infant will pull the bib with hands, which causes the infant'sneck to be restrained by the bib, resulting in discomfort or redness andswelling of the skin.

As mentioned above, the prior art still has many problems. Therefore, inview of the above-mentioned problems, the inventor of the invention hasbeen eager to improve and innovate, after years of painstaking anddiligent research, an infant bib of the invention is finally developedsuccessfully.
